Blandy Book Club

So many moving, insightful, and powerful books have been written about the environment, natural history, personal reflection, and special places. We all have our favorites.

With so many fine books available, we better start reading, and to help, we’ve launched the Blandy Book Club.

Meetings: In the Blandy library from 1-2 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of the month (except November and December). You can look forward to lively discussions and light refreshments. Participants should obtain their own copy of the book and read prior to the meeting.
